I do believe that there is a part of the Heroic Life that can only be understood by living it, which is necessary to teach it. But I understand that is not necessarily your path :)

I agree, you did what you could, which many people do not do. You did what you could control, and you can not control what happened after. You became a new stone in the river, changing its direction. It may continue in a new direction, or it may return to its previous channel, but that is not in your control.

One of the things you did is you said, “Don’t believe that you are alone and no one sees and no one cares.” That may stick with both of them, for different reasons.

And because you were conscious, you don’t get to ask yourself, “Did I only do this because I was drinking? Would I have behaved differently if I were sober?”

In addition to changing the flow of the moment, you got lots of food for thought, which is also awesome.

You are right, every moment is training. For all of us. But you realize it. Rock on.

Part of faith design is first teaching it to yourself, and that’s what I’m here for.

Sat, 05 Nov 2011 02:47:41 +0000http://roguepriest.net/?p=1819#comment-2331I know this will seem obvious to you, but the distinction does need to be made and will eventually need to be communicated: the Heroic Life also isn’t about people pursuing discomfort for the sake of discomfort.

The discomfort is a by-product of having to make tough choices, and that is what this path is really all about.
